Electric touches meet a lavender haze. Technology, noise, glitch, and life blend together in this package that is equal parts spiritual and mystical. 


Following a hard break up, Cesar feels nothing. On the day of his 30th birthday, he asks one thing - and one thing only - from the people he meets: their testimonial on unconditional love in front of his camera. Throughout his interviews the young artist tries to understand a question that haunts him: how to love?


À LA VIE À L'AMOR will be screened as a part of the SHORTS: BIOCHEMICAL EQUATION package.
